This Cornhusker banquet is one tradition at Ne braska which IS a tradition. All kinds of students go, from the football cynic to the "bonfire boys". Fresh men rub elbows with seniors; fraternity and class feel ings are forgotten when football men, inspired by their service for Nebraska, cast a spell over the huge audience, until coughs are noticeable and the clearing of throats is in jrder. Then the charm is broken the toastmaster makes a "crack" at Presnell, and suddenly the silence of the great hall is rocked with laughter. Finally the crowd becomes uneasy. Whispering is common, and when the football captain rises with a pigskin in his hand, he does not have to call for silence, A few words, words of appreciation, reflection, and then some regret. Then his face brightens, he throws the ball, and hundreds of men scramble to their feet to see the new captain. ; What is there about such a gathering of young Twn, united with a common bond Nebraska which makes them forget their everyday happenings, and spend a dinner hour in fellowship, laughter, suspense, and understanding? It is Nebraska spirit! Wednesday morning Mr. J. M. F. accused this paper of prejudice in writing up the Sigma Alpha Mu Farm House basketball game, the score of which was 12 to 1. He contended it was a close game although the report termed it a "terrific drubbing". Now, we notice that Sigma Alpha Mu forfeits a game to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Why, Mr. J. M. F., don't you get your team to play another game to show this hidden strength which scores alone fail to uncover?

Graduating Back Calendar THE STUDENTS SPEAK The Inter-fraternity Council last night approved a definite program which its members believed would remedy the student automobile situation which the Board of Regents recently indicated would be subject to control in the near future. Serious consideration has been given the auto mobile matter by the council. On the surface, their recommendations arpear comprehensive. It js most gratifying to see concrete, practical recommendations for relief of the situation coming from the student body itself. If the Board of Regent3 can co-operate with the students in working out methods of eliminating evils existing in the use of student cars, the possibilities of securing reasonable and satisfactory rules will be greatly augmented. Self -established rules will always be more readily followed than superimposed ones. . Through the activity of the Inter-fraternity Coun cil, the Regents will have definite student proposals before them. If the Board is sincere in its attempt to work out a rational solution for the automobile prob- FOOTBALLl FOOTBALL I FOOTBALL! Twenty-one two sixty-three four thousand and four hike! Bread and Butter, our AU-American backs, will star tonight at the Coliseum. Everybody out for the Cornhusker banquet and bring your armour for the biscuits will fly high and far. K Gurruls! Aren't you sorry you ain't he-men so you could see Claire Sloan up on the stage tonight? Don't you adore him? That hearty smile? Those lovely teeth? Ahhhhhh, those handsome Pi Kap athletes! Zuver great big heart breaker! I'll bet he'll blush when he sees this I'll buy him a coke the next time I see him stacked over at the Moon. K All-Sorority Football Team This team will be announced within the next few days. The writer wishes to make it clear that no poll tical influence will enter into the selection. Despite the popular idea of a football line this team will be composed of brains rather than brawn. I have ever fav ored a fast, heady team heavy girls don't get around quick enough. So watch this column and girls if you don't make it, come back next year and get right in and fight! K Wonder who will receive Jug Brown's last forward pass? And 1 suppose you are wondering about the same thing. And while we're wondering lets do some figuring. And while we're figuring, let's try and see how many biscuits we can throw at the toastmaster. The first direct hit gets my pie. ' K Now 5s our chance to see how the boys act when they are away from home. Don't watch them too closely maybe they will be nervous with so fhany eyes on them they're not used to it K And if the speakers talk too long well, just hold your seats and try to listen attentively no more till the interfraternity banquet. K And if "Jug" Brown shrinking, blushing violet gets embarassed try not to notice 5t, he's a nice boy, and it's the last time he'll be up there. K Are those girl athalettes going to be there too? If they are, and if they throw their knives around like they throw their hockey sticks, I don't want to be at their table and neither do you. K Is Johnny Everetts going to be there? Hope so nothing footballish would be complete without her everpresence. K Doc McLean will have his rubbing table nearby so that if the Delts gorge themselves they can receive instant first aid.

Ray Randels, one of the best tack les ever to play on a Nebraska ele ven ia numbered among the graduat ing football players but with Rich ards, Lucas, Munn, Ray and a large delegation from the yearlings Coach "Bunny" Oakes will also be well sup plied with line material. Coach Oakes had one of the best forward walls in the Missouri Valley and Mid dle West this season and the outlook for next year is promising. Janes Will Be Back At the center of the line, Ted James will be back to protect his old position and Will be pushed by men from the freshmen squad. Holm and Nebraska has ever turned out. Witt and McBride Coming His running mate among the soph omores will be "Dutch" Witte or "Bud" McBride. Both of these backs earned letters this year and during their first season on the Nebraska eleven they showed Husker fans that they will be ready to replace the graduating veterans. With the loss of the two regular quarterbacks this year, McBride may be drilled for the pilot position on the 1928 Corn husker eleven. At the fullback position, Coach Bearg will have George Farley, who played his first year with the Var sity this season. Oehlrich leaves the fullback position vacant for next year and it will be a tough job for Farley to live up to the reputation Oehlrich set at that position in the Nebraska backfield.

She gave it as her opinion that correspondence schools were chiefly valuable dis couraging thos who had no talent to write but added that they were probably of value to some people. Mrs. Aldrich advised prospective writers to secure a good background in English, to get an idea for an ar ticle and then "live with it," and above all to cultivate the will to succeed. McMullen will also be numbered I coaching staff will have 32 men back among the scarlet clad football men for next year. During the first three games of the 1927 season it was almost an im possibility for an opposing back to penetrate the Scarlet forward wall.

FOSTER DISCUSSES JESDS AND PRAYER (Continued from Pan 1) tor Foster was the "Religion of a Scientist." He spoke about the re lation of prayer to the science of physics. He stated that the kind of universe in which we live as demon strated by advanced physics is ex actly the same as that expounded by prayer. Contending that we should try to assume a spirit of religion, he appealed to he Ar'idnt to give their hearts to the spirit of the campus of Nebraska.

These two athletic houses are rivaled by few similar buildings in the Valley conference. The stadium will seat the largest crowd of any football stadium in the conference. The Coliseum offers ample seat ing capacity for all Varsity basket ball games and wrestling meets and is the center of all intra-mural sports. The high school basketball tournament with more than two hundred basketball teams entered, was played off almost entirely on the floor of the Coliseum last year. Besides being the athletic center of Nebraska during the winter months, it has become a social gath ering place for university functions of all sorts. f Don Lindell Don Lindell, another back field man who will be lost to the Hunker duad next sea son.

The play was repeated in answer to the many requests that marked its first appearance three years ago.

Football built the Coliseum in which about 234 inter-fraternity basketball games will be played this year as well as several other inter-fraternity sports. The stadium was made pos- sible by football, under which intra mural track will be run off. Due to football a large number of sports have been added to the pro gram this year. Some of the events are water-polo, hare and hound, and boxing, and according to the athletic office it is probable that more will be added before the season closes. Another important event which has been added to the intra-mural program is a carnival copied after Ohio and several other large col leges. The carnival will be held February 3 in the Coliseum. The en tertainment for the earlier part of the evening will consist of boxing, wrestling and relay races, and a dance is planned for the latter part of the evening. , " Adieux Capt.
